The easiest way for me, personally, would be to go full on cringe unethical capitalist, then fix everything upon reaching >97 on economy, but I’ve been trying out different ways on different puppet nations, and I think it’s going okay.

So first, Economic Freedom is quite the important stat, and it helps define your WA classification, as shown by this wonderful dispatch by Refuge Isle, Refugia’s founder! Anyway, the higher the economic freedom, the better the economy. Socialist nations get -100 economic freedom, but this doesn’t really affect your other stats. Therefore, capitalist nations with a 25 economic freedom would be the same as socialist nations with a -75 economic freedom. Do note however that going too high would severely hurt your economy, which is why the default Libertarian setup as a higher economy than the default Anarchy setup that NS has, I believe. This info is most accurate for newer nations, and will slowly become less accurate along the way.

The other important stat would be Business Subsidization. Initially, I focused on Business Subsidization to increase eco-friendliness while keeping a good economy, but it seems to work for socialist nations that want a high economy too. Basically, choose every option that promises to fund an industry, and also tanked my Freedom from Taxation Disposable Income stats.

In the long run, you should remember to favor Business Subsidization over Economic Freedom, since that’s what tends to helps better as a socialist nation.
